0 ~ 4 12 0-1/2 Mg 13 Oh CH3 The compounds of the formulae II and III are known commercial products. The compound of the formula II in which R = Cl (compound IIa, chloroethyltr;methylamonnium chloride) has the common name chlormequate chloride or CCC.
The compound of ~he formula III (1,1-di-methylpiperid;nium chloride) is known by the name mepi-quate chloride. The growth-regulating actions of the compounds of the formulae II and III are descr;bed ;n Plant Growth Regulator Handbook of the Plant Growth ReguLator Work;ng Group, 2nd edition, 19~1.
Instead of the compounds of the formulae II
and III, it is also poss;ble in principle to use analo-gous salts which, instead of the chloride, contain another anion which can be used in agricuLture, such as, for example, bromide, nitrate or 1/2 sulfate~
Surpris;ngly, striking synergistic effects are found when the compounds of the formula I are com-bined with the compounds of the formula II or III.
Thus, the desired effects can be ach;eved using the com-binations according to the învention ;n substantially smaller doses than would be expected from the action of the ;ndividusl components. Examples of the effects are the follo~;ng: ;ncreasing the firmness of crops, for example cereals, corn, rice, soybean, m;llet, rape and cotton, inhib;ting the growth of la~ns, influencing plant constituents, such as carbohydrates and prote;ns, lncreasing the yie~d and improving the leaf fall and shedding of fruit, in particular in the case of citrus fruits, or reducing the retaining force. The combina-tions according to the invention, can also be used for reducing wild growth, so that the combinations can also be employed ;n conservation.
Furthermore, the agents according to the ;nvention are outstandingly suitable for the general control and inhibition of undesired vegetative growth, such as the formation of sideshoots, without destroying the plants.
The cQmpounds of the formula I can also advantageously be combined with two different compounds of the formula II or III, for example a compound of the formula I with two compounds of the formula II.
The m;xing ratios of the components of the for-rnula I to the compounds of the formulae II or III can vary within wide limits, for example between 250 : 1 and 1 : 10~ The choice of the mixing ratio depends on the type of components in the mixture, on the s~age of development of the plants and on the desired degree of growth~regulating activity~ Pr~fQr~bl~ ~Y~ing ra~io- of from 10 01 to 101t) are cho~ela;e~n_cially prQfQrre~ ra~ios are be~~ a 1:1 to 1:10.
The application rate of the compounds of the formula I ;n the mixtures of active ingredients is in general between 0.05 and 2.5 kg/ha, while the applica-tion rates of the compounds of the formulae II and III
vary between 0.01 and 5 kgtha.
The total application rate of the mixture is, in particular, from 0.25 to 1.25 kg/ha for the combina-tion I ~ II, and, in particular, between 0.25 and Z.5 kg/ha in the case of the comb;nation I + III.
The agents according to the invention can either 2û be formulations consisting of mixtures of the components (wettable powders or emulsion concentrates), uh;ch are then brought to use after dilution w;th water in a con-vent;onal manner, or be prepared in the form of so-cal(ed tank m;xtures by d;luting the separately formulated components with water.
The agents according to the invention can be offered commerc;ally in the conventional formulations familiar to the skilled worker, for example as wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates or atomizable solu-3û tions. The formulated agents contain the combinations - of act;ve ingredients in general in a range from 2 to 95X by weight, in addition to conventional formulation auxiliaries.
Wettable powders are preparations which can be dispersed homogeneously in water and which, in addition to the active ingredients and a diluent or inert sub-stance, contain wetting agents, for example polyoxyethy-lated alkylphenols, polyoxyethylated oleylamines or stearylamines or polyoxyethylated fatty alcohols, alkyl-sulfonates or alkylphenylsulfonates, and dispersants, for example sodium ligninsulfonate, sodium dinaphthyl-methanedisulfonate, sodium dibutylnaphthalenesulfonate or sodium oleylmethyltaurate.
Emulsifiable concentrates are obtained by dis-solving the mixture of active ingredients in an organic solvent, for example butanol, cyclohexanone, dimethyl-formamide, xylene or relat;vely h;gh-boiling aromatics, ~ 1~ and adding a nonionic wetting agent, for example a - polyethylated alkylphenol or a polyoxyethylated oleylamine or stearylamine.
In the case of growth reguLators, the concentra~
tions of the active ingredients in the commercial formu-lations can varyO In wettable powders, the concentration of active ingredients varies between, for example, about 10X and 95X, the remainder consisting of the abovementioned formulatiQn additives. In the case of emulsifiable concentrates, the concentration of active Z0 ingredients is about 10% to 80X. Dust-like formulations generally contain 5X to 20% of active ingredient, while atomizable solutions contain about 2~ to 20X. In the case of granules, the content of active ingred;ents is part~y dependent on the form (liquid or solid) ;n ~hich the active ingredients are present and on the granula-tion assistants, fillers, etc. used.
For use, the commercial concentrates are, if necessary, diluted in a conventional manner, for example with water in the case of wettable powders and emulsi-fiable concentrates. Dust-like and granulated formulat;ons and atom1zable solutions are not diluted with any further inert substances before use. The required appl;cation rate varies with the external con-ditions, such as temperature, moisture, etc~
The agents according to the invention can be further combined with herbicides, fungicides or insecti-cides and other growth regulators.
Furthermore, in addition to being combined ~ith - 7 ~

The agents according to the invention were applied by the post-emergence method at various stages of development of the plants, on 10 mZ test plots, the volume of water used being 4ûO liters/ha. Each trial was repeated four times. The plants ~ere rated at 14-day intervals after application~ phytotoxicity, height of growth and development being investigated.
The results are shown in Table I belo~.
~ 9 _ The results from Table I confirm the outstanding synergistic effec~s obtained with the combinations according to the invention. The effect observed (shortening of stems) is substantially greater than the effect which would be expected from the action of the indiv;dual components. This synergistic effect occurred over a wide range of plant developnent.
